If You're Goin To The City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you're goin' to the city
You better have some cash
If you're goin' to the city
You better have some cash
'Cause the people in the city
Don't mess around with trash
When you get up to the city
You better lock your door
When you get up to the city
You better lock your door
You know they'll take what you've got, girl
And then they'll ask for more
When you get up to the city
You got to learn to shout
When you get up to the city
You better learn to shout
If you't stand up and holler
You're gonna get left out
And if you stay up in the city
There's just two things I hope
And if you stay up in the city
There's just two things I hope
That you don't take money from a woman
And you don't start messin' round with dope
